Best Answer

If you came across this skunk somewhere in the U.S., Mexico or southern Canada, it is probably simply the common skunk seen everywhere in these areas. It is not unusual for this skunk to have a double stripe that joins at the forehead. Its Latin binomial name is Mephitis mephitis.

What is the body structure of a skunk?

If you were asked to describe a skunk, you probably would say that it is black with a broad, white stripe that runs from the top of its head to the tip of its tail. That's the way skunks are drawn in cartoons, but in reality, this description fits only the hog-nosed and the relatively rare Gulf Coast hog-nosed skunks in Texas. These two are very similar in looks but the Gulf Coast species has a narrower stripe down its back and is the largest of all North American skunks. It is found in the area from Brownsville north along the coast to Aransas Pass and has been recorded in Aransas, Brooks, Cameron, Kleberg, Nueces, and Webb counties. If you live in the Edwards Plateau region of Central Texas, the Chisos, Davis, or Guadalupe mountains of the Trans-Pecos, or the Big Thicket area of East Texas, you will be in the range of the hog-nosed skunk. Its hoglike habit of rooting around for food has caused it to be called the "rooter skunk," and you may see signs of its plowing and rooting. A small white spot on its forehead and another in front of each ear gives the spotted skunk its name. Four stripes extend from its head down its back and additional white stripes and spots are found on other parts of its body.
